Vulnerability detection is a process of identifying weaknesses in a system, network, or application that could potentially be exploited by attackers to compromise the security of the system. This research area focuses on developing techniques and tools to proactively identify and mitigate vulnerabilities before they are exploited. This may involve scanning and analyzing code, configurations, and network traffic to identify potential weaknesses and recommend appropriate security measures to address them. Vulnerability detection plays a crucial role in the field of cybersecurity by helping organizations identify and address security weaknesses in their systems to prevent potential breaches and attacks.
